hello

We are using Red Hat linux 4 .We blocked certain sites through squid for certain ip address.we want to unblock these sites in particular interval ,ie during noon time and after 4.00 pm.
Here we have given
acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24
acl blocked_sites url_regex –i ‘/etc/squid/sites.txt’
http_access deny blocked_sites
http_access allow our_networks

In the sites.txt we have given the names the of those sites that should be blocked
The problem is to unblock sites in sites.txt , for particular intervals

use a time acl in the format:

Code:

acl aclname time [day-abbrevs] [h1:m1-h2:m2]
	  # [fast]
	  #  day-abbrevs:
	  #	S - Sunday
	  #	M - Monday
	  #	T - Tuesday
	  #	W - Wednesday
	  #	H - Thursday
	  #	F - Friday
	  #	A - Saturday
	  #  h1:m1 must be less than h2:m2

for instance:

acl our_networks src 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24
acl lunchtime time MTWHF 12:00-13:00
acl blocked_sites url_regex –i ‘/etc/squid/sites.txt’
http_access allow lunchtime blocked_sites
http_access deny blocked_sites
http_access allow our_networks
